Query based on individual COUNT(*) values - php

I have two tables ('posts' and 'votes') which allows users to vote thumbs-up (where rating = 1 in 'votes') or thumbs-down (where rating = 0 in 'votes') on posts.
I'm joining the two tables in a query and am trying to filter the results so that a row only shows if it has 2+ positive (rating = 1) ratings AND 2+ negative (rating = 0) ratings from the 'votes' table ('post_id' and 'rating' columns).
This is what I got, but it doesn't work as intended, since it brings back results which also have only 1 positive and 1 negative vote -- although you can't see this due to the conglomeration of votes for each post -- which isn't what I want (the 'HAVING' line isn't working as intended):
SELECT *, COUNT(*)
FROM posts p
JOIN votes v ON p.id = v.post_id
WHERE rating = 1 OR rating = 0
GROUP BY p.id
HAVING COUNT(rating = 1) > 1 AND COUNT(rating = 0) > 1
+----+---------+----------+----------+
| id | post_id | rating | COUNT(*) |
+----+---------+----------+----------+
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 2 |
| 7 | 7 | 0 | 2 |
| 9 | 9 | 0 | 2 |
| 83 | 83 | 1 | 2 |
+----+---------+----------+----------+

I think you want this having clause:
SELECT p.*, COUNT(*)
FROM posts p JOIN
votes v
ON p.id = v.post_id
WHERE rating IN (1, 0)
GROUP BY p.id
HAVING ABS(SUM(rating = 1) - SUM(rating = 0)) > 1;
EDIT:
The above is doing the right thing. Here is a SQL Fiddle showing the results.
EDIT II:
I might have misinterpreted the question. I understood the question to be a net positive of two votes or a net negative of two votes. You seem to want just at least two votes either way. That having clause is:
HAVING SUM(rating = 1) > 1 or SUM(rating = 0) > 1

COUNT in LEFT JOIN returning duplicated value

I've the following tables (example):
users:
id | user | photo | joined | country
1 | Igor | abc.jpg | 2015 | Brazil
2 | John | cga.png | 2014 | USA
3 | Lucas| hes.jpg | 2016 | Japan
posts (see that there are two lines with author = Igor and ft = 2 and one line with author = Igor and ft = 3 and Igor have three posts):
id | author | content | date | ft (2 = photos and 3 = videos)
1 | Igor | hi | 2016 | 2
2 | Igor | hello | 2016 | 3
3 | John | hehehe | 2016 | 2
4 | Igor | huhuhuh | 2016 | 2
5 | Lucas | lol | 2016 | 3
friendship (when status = 2 means that they are friends):
id | friend1 | friend2 | status
1 | Igor | Lucas | 2
2 | Lucas | John | 2
3 | John | Igor | 2
And I want to do a COUNT of posts with ft = 2 and a COUNT of friends (status = 2) according to the currently logged user (Igor, in this case).
So, I do (assuming that the current user logged in is Igor):
SELECT photo, joined, country, sum(CASE WHEN ft = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS numPhotos, sum(CASE WHEN ft = 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS numVideos
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts
ON users.user = posts.author
WHERE users.user = 'Igor'
GROUP BY users.user
LIMIT 1
And when I check on a foreach, the data is correct:
numPhotos = 2 and numVideos = 1.
But, I want to select too the number of friends, so, I do:
SELECT photo, joined, country, sum(CASE WHEN ft = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS numPhotos, sum(CASE WHEN ft = 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS numVideos, count(friendship.status) AS numFriends
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts
ON users.user = posts.author
LEFT JOIN friendship
ON (users.user = friend1 OR users.user = friend2) AND friendship.status = 2
WHERE users.user = 'Igor'
GROUP BY users.user
LIMIT 1
But, the output is:
numPhotos = 4, numVideos = 2 and numFriends = 6.
In other words, he is duplicating all results but in numFriends he's taking the total of posts of Igor (3) and duplicating the value too. And if I change count(friendship.status) to sum(friendship.status) the output is:
numPhotos = 4, numVideos = 2 and numFriends = 18 (triples the numFriends).
I tried too with count(distinct friendship.status) and the result is:
numPhotos = 4, numVideos = 2 and numFriends = 1 (duplicates the values again as well as return the wrong value 1 for numFriends that should be 2 knowing he has two friends).
So, how I can do this? (I'm using MySQL)
EDIT:
I changed the count(distinct friendship.status) to count(distinct friendship.id) and it worked to select the number of friends. But the rest of values (numPhotos and numVideos) continue duplicated.
I discovered that the problem is in ON (users.user = friend1 OR users.user = friend2), because if I leave only ON (users.user = friend1) or ON (users.user = friend2) the output isn't duplicated. I tried too with ON 'Igor' IN (friend1, friend2) but the result is the same (numPhotosandnumVideos` continue duplicated).
I think the left join may be joining on a one-to-many relationship, which is causing inflated counts.
Since you are only retrieving the counts for 1 user, I suggest using a subquery to retrieve the friendship counts (for retrieving the counts for multiple users, a derived table may be faster than a subquery):
SELECT
sum(ft = 2) AS numPhotos,
sum(ft = 3) AS numVideos,
(select count(*) from friendships f
where (friend1 = users.user
or friend2 = users.user)
and status = 2) as friendship_count
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts
ON users.user = posts.author
WHERE users.user = 'Igor'
Note that I removed the group by because users.user is already in the where clause, which means there is only 1 group.
Instead of count(distinct friendship.status), try using count(distinct friendship.id). That should give you the number of unique friends. Counting distinct statuses doesn't work because all the statuses will be 2 by definition, so there is only one distinct value.

MySQL - Grouping multiple rows where criteria is the same

I have a table of movie ratings that contains millions of rows containing userid's, movieid's and ratings.
| userId | movieId | rating |
------------------------------
| 1 | 213 | 5 |
| 1 | 245 | 4 |
| 2 | 213 | 4 |
| 2 | 245 | 4 |
| 3 | 657 | 5 |
| 3 | 245 | 5 |
I'm trying to figure out a way of grouping together userId's that contain matching sets of movieId's. Ideally I want the query to only find matches if they have at least 5 movieId's in common and if the rating is above 4, but I've simplified it for this example.
In the instance above, userId 1 and 2 would be the only users that match as they both contain the same movieIds. I need a statement that would essentially replicate this. Thanks in advance for any help.
You can perform a self-join on matching movies, filter out records with uninteresting ratings, group by user-pairs and then filter the resulting groups for only those that have at least the requisite number of matching records:
SELECT a.userId, b.userId
FROM myTable a JOIN myTable b USING (movieId)
WHERE a.userId < b.userId
AND a.rating > 4
AND b.rating > 4
GROUP BY a.userId, b.userId
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 5
select movieId, rating
from tablename
group by movieId
having count(userId) > 1 and rating > 4;
this gives me movieId 245 and rating 5, which should be correct according to your provided example data, have more than 1 userId and a rating greater than 4.

mysql - get closest value to correct value return zero to many depending on result

My site allows users to guess the result of a sports match. At the end of the match the guesses should be compared to the actual result. The winner(s) are the members with the closest correct guess
Im looking for a way to return all members who guessed the correct result and score difference IF NO (zero) member guessed correctly return members who guessed closest to the correct result
See MYSQL FIDLE EXAMPLE
I modified the script to change fixed values taking variables as you can see below
if(isset($_POST['resultBtn'])){
foreach($_POST['winner'] as $id =>$winner){
$winScore = $_POST['score'][$id];
:
:
$sql="SELECT p.*
FROM Multiple_Picks p
WHERE p.event_id='$matchId' AND
p.pick='$winner' AND
abs(p.score-'$winScore') = (SELECT min(abs(p2.score-1))
FROM Multiple_Picks p2
Where p2.pick=p.pick AND
p2.event_id = p.event_id)";
My problem is if I run this script on the following table:
NOTHING gets displayed even if I put result exactly correct:
My variable values are correct in the sql statment so that is not the problem
Any help will be welcomed...
IMPORTANT THE USER WHO SELECTED CLOSEST CORRECT RESULTS, FOR ALL GAME, DURING THE ROUND IS THE WINNER
example: if user A won 4 of the picks and user B won 5 of the picks then user B is the winner of the round
Why don't you want just
SELECT p.*, abs(p.score-'$winScore') as diff
FROM Multiple_Picks p
WHERE p.event_id='$matchId' AND p.pick='$winner'
ORDER BY diff ASC
LIMIT 1
This will return the closest member for the event. Remove the LIMIT if you need a few of them.
Also, never put your parameters directly into the SQL query, even trusted ones (not your case) and even if you're sure they will always be integer or non-string type. Use prepared statements.
In this answer I call a "Best" pick any pick that has chosen the correct winner for a particular match, and has the closest score to the actual match score.
These scripts also respect the different "rounds" in the competition, since that is an important complication.
This answer comes in two parts: first a query that is similar to the one in the question that returns all the "Best" picks for a particular match. To make it easier to run in SQL Fiddle, I have used MySQL variables instead of PHP variables.
Schema with test data:
create table Multiple_Picks (
pick_id int,
member_nr int,
event_id int,
pick varchar(100),
score int
);
insert into Multiple_Picks
values
(11,100,1,'Crusaders',15),
(12,100,2,'Waratahs',10),
(13,100,3,'Chiefs',4),
(21,200,1,'Crusaders',15),
(22,200,2,'Waratahs',10),
(23,200,3,'Lions',4),
(31,300,1,'Crusaders',15),
(32,300,2,'Waratahs',12),
(33,300,3,'Lions',6),
(41,100,4,'Crusaders',20),
(42,100,5,'Waratahs',20),
(43,100,6,'Lions',20)
;
Queries to show all picks and then best picks for a particular match:
set #matchId = 2;
set #winner = 'Waratahs';
set #winScore = 8;
-- Show all picks for a particular match
select * from Multiple_Picks
where event_id = #matchId;
-- Show best picks for a particular match
select p.*
from Multiple_Picks p
where p.event_id = #matchId
and p.pick = #winner
and abs(p.score - #winScore) =
(select min(abs(other.score - #winScore))
from Multiple_Picks other
where other.event_id = #matchId
and other.pick = #winner
)
;

Now we need to work towards finding the winner of each round of the competition.
First we have extra test data that contains the actual scores for Matches in rounds 1 and 2.
create table Matches (
event_id int,
winner varchar(100),
score int,
round int
);
insert into Matches
values
(1,'Crusaders',10,1),
(2,'Waratahs',11,1),
(3,'Lions',4,1),
(4,'Crusaders',20,2),
(5,'Waratahs',20,2),
(6,'Chiefs',20,2)
;
Now select the best picks for all Matches. The subselect (aliased as m) calculates best_diff for each match as the minimum difference between the actual score and every guessed score. This subselect is then joined to every pick so that only "Best" picks are returned.
-- Show all best picks for all Matches
select p.*, m.round
from Multiple_Picks p
join (
select m2.event_id, m2.winner, m2.score, m2.round,
min(abs(m2.score-p2.score)) as best_diff
from Matches m2
join Multiple_Picks p2
on p2.event_id = m2.event_id and p2.pick = m2.winner
group by m2.event_id, m2.winner, m2.score, m2.round
) as m
on p.event_id = m.event_id and p.pick = m.winner
and abs(m.score - p.score) = m.best_diff
order by m.round, p.event_id
;
It is then easy to get a count of Best picks for each player for each round by just grouping the previous query by member_nr and round:
-- Show a count of best picks for each player for each round
select p.member_nr, m.round, count(*) as best_count
from Multiple_Picks p
join (
select m2.event_id, m2.winner, m2.score, m2.round,
min(abs(m2.score-p2.score)) as best_diff
from Matches m2
join Multiple_Picks p2
on p2.event_id = m2.event_id and p2.pick = m2.winner
group by m2.event_id, m2.winner, m2.score, m2.round
) as m
on p.event_id = m.event_id and p.pick = m.winner
and abs(m.score - p.score) = m.best_diff
group by p.member_nr, m.round
order by m.round, count(*) desc
;

| 21 | 200 | 1 | Crusaders | 15 | 1 |
| 11 | 100 | 1 | Crusaders | 15 | 1 |

| 200 | 1 | 3 |
| 300 | 1 | 2 |
| 100 | 1 | 2 |
| 100 | 2 | 2 |
+-----------+-------+------------+
The final stage is to select only those players for each round who have the highest number of Best picks. I tried modifying the above queries, but the nesting becomes two confusing, so my solution was to create a few logical views so that the final query can be more easily understood. The views basically encapsulate the logic of the queries I have explained above:
create view MatchesWithBestDiff as
select m.event_id, m.winner, m.score, m.round,
min(abs(m.score-p.score)) as best_diff
from Matches m
join Multiple_Picks p
on p.event_id = m.event_id and p.pick = m.winner
group by m.event_id, m.winner, m.score, m.round
;
create view BestPicks as
select p.*, m.round
from Multiple_Picks p
join MatchesWithBestDiff m
on p.event_id = m.event_id and p.pick = m.winner
and abs(m.score - p.score) = m.best_diff
;
create view BestPickCount as
select member_nr, round, count(*) as best_count
from BestPicks
group by member_nr, round
;
So that the query that shows the winners of each round is simply:
-- Show the players with the highest number of Best Picks for each round
select *
from BestPickCount p
where best_count =
(
select max(other.best_count)
from BestPickCount other
where other.round = p.round
)
order by round
;
SQL Fiddle for players with most Best picks for each round
-- Show the players with the highest number of Best Picks for each round
+-----------+-------+------------+
| member_nr | round | best_count |
+-----------+-------+------------+
| 200 | 1 | 3 |
| 100 | 2 | 2 |
+-----------+-------+------------+
This whole investigation has reminded me how tricky it can be to get SQL to do much manipulation where records need to be selected depending on maximums and sums. Some of these types of queries can be much easier with window functions (the OVER and PARTITION BY clauses), but they are not available in MySQL.
While designing the above queries, I found a few interesting restrictions:
MySQL does not allow joins to subqueries in views definitions.
ANSI SQL does not allow an aggregate in a subquery to reference both a column from the inner query and a column from the outer query. MySQL seems to sometimes allow this, but I couldn't find clear guidance as to when it is allowed, so I chose to code the above queries to avoid this "feature".
scenario 1: NO USERS SELECTED THE CORRECT TEAM
I believe that result in this situation should be empty result because everyone has made a mistake.
SCORE RETURN MEMBERS WHO SELECTED THE CLOSEST TO CORRECT SCORE AND
RESULT
It seems to be already working in your code example except one mistake in select.
abs(p.score-'$winScore') = (SELECT min(abs(p2.score-1))
Instead of constant 1 (one) it should be variable '$winScore'
and to control the number of users you get, you may limit your results so you will get something like this:
$sql="SELECT p.*
FROM Multiple_Picks p
WHERE p.event_id='$matchId' AND
p.pick='$winner' AND
abs(p.score-'$winScore') = (SELECT min(abs(p2.score-'$winner'))
FROM Multiple_Picks p2
Where p2.pick=p.pick AND
p2.event_id = p.event_id)
order by p.id limit '$numberOfMembers'";
SCENARIO 2: SCENARIO 2: MULTIPLE USERS SELECTED CORRECT TEAM BUT
SCORES ARE DIFFERENT RETURN USER(S) WHO GUESSED CLOSEST TO CORRECT
SCORE
Same as in the previous question.
SCENARIO 3: MULTIPLE USERS SELECTED CORRECT TEAM AND SCORE RETURN ALL
USERS WHO SELECTED CORRECT TEAM AND SCORE
You can achieve this using same query just replace the LIMIT with 'rank' function, and also if you will get several closest scores, but you have to limit their number according to their voting order by id, for this purpose I suggest sorting.
So final query will be:
$sql="select * from (SELECT p.*,
abs(p.score-'$winScore') scr_diff,
#rownum := #rownum + 1 rank
FROM Multiple_Picks p,
(SELECT #rownum := 0) rank_gen
WHERE p.event_id='$matchId' AND
p.pick='$winner' AND
abs(p.score-'$winScore') = (SELECT min(abs(p2.score-'$winner'))
FROM Multiple_Picks p2
Where p2.pick=p.pick AND
p2.event_id = p.event_id)
order by p.id
) sq
where sq.scr_diff = 0
or sq.rank < '$numberOfMembers'";
Fiddle.
Best guesser for one match
First find the member(s) who picked the winner and had the closest score guess:
SELECT p.*
FROM
( SELECT MIN(ABS(score-'$winScore')) AS closest
FROM Multiple_Picks
WHERE event_id = '$matchId'
AND pick='$winner'
) AS c
JOIN Multiple_Picks p
WHERE p.event_id = '$matchId'
AND p.pick = '$winner'
AND ABS(score-'$winScore') = c.closest
If that return no results, then what should happen? (It would be because no one picked the winner for a particular event.)
But, I think your question is much more complex. However, the above gives a mapping from (event_id, pick) -> list-of-members who "won". Starting over...
Missing info
There is a mystery -- Where do the event results come from? I will assume this table is already populated:
CREATE TABLE Win (
event_id ..., -- which game
winnner ..., -- who won
score ... -- by what score
)
Best guesser overall
So, create a table of BestGuessers(event_id, member). The details of "all game" and "round" are a bit vague. So I will carry this at least one step further.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE BestGuessers(
event_id ...,
member_nr ... -- who guessed the best for that event
)
SELECT p.event_id, p.member_nr
FROM
( SELECT w.event_id, w.winner, MIN(ABS(mp.score-w.score)) AS closest
FROM Multiple_Picks AS mp
JOIN Win AS w ON mp.event_id = w.event_id
AND mp.pick = w.winner
GROUP BY w.event_id, w.winner
) AS c
JOIN Multiple_Picks p
ON p.event_id = c.event_id
AND p.pick = c.pick
AND p.score = c.closest
Now, from that, you can pick the best guesser(s).
SELECT y.member_nr
FROM
( SELECT COUNT(*) AS ct
FROM BestGuessers
GROUP BY member_nr
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 1
) AS x -- the max number of correct guesses
STRAIGHT_JOIN
( SELECT member_nr, COUNT(*) AS ct
FROM BestGuessers
GROUP BY member_nr
) AS y -- the users who guessed correctly that many times
USING (ct);
All this is pretty complex; I may have some typos, even logic errors. But maybe I came close.
It seems an additional table to store the actual results would help here.
E.g let's say this is in a table called results with sample values as follows:
event_id winner result
1 Crusaders 16
2 Waratahs 15
3 Chiefs 4
4 Crusaders 17
5 Reds 12
0 Rebels 14
7 Cheetahs 15
8 Crusaders 14
This can then be JOINed on each row and results compared as follows:
SELECT p.*
, CASE WHEN ABS(p.score - r.result)
- CASE WHEN p.pick = r.winner THEN 999999 ELSE 0 END
= (SELECT MIN(ABS(p2.score - r2.result)
- CASE WHEN p2.pick = r2.winner THEN 999999 ELSE 0 END)
FROM picks p2
JOIN results r2
ON p2.event_id = r2.event_id
WHERE p2.event_id = p.event_id)
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS win
FROM picks p
JOIN results r
ON p.event_id = r.event_id;
Explanation
The rightmost win column is 1 if the member is calculated to have won or drawn the event, otherwise it is 0. The method used is similar to the one in your post, with the main difference being the team and score are combined. The main thing to be explained here is the 999999, which is subtracted when a correct team is picked - so this can be sure to eclipse the score difference. (Of course, an even bigger value could be picked if needed).

how to select sum, and count from diffrent tables using multiple joins

I need to generate some big data from many tables, regarding filters, at there also i need to get the sum of some columns, and also counts of rows like example
i have 5 records
ID | NAME | DELETED
1 | A | 1
2 | A | 0
3 | A | 1
4 | B | 1
5 | C | 1
I have the query,
SELECT p.name, sum(p.deleted) as del, count(p.id) as numbers from products as p
join other AS b ON p.id=b.id
The output i need is,
The sum of deleted records
NAME | Deletion | Count
A | 2 | 3
B | 1 | 1
C | 1 | 1
Try this ::
SELECT
p.name,
sum(p.deleted) as del,
count(id) as numbers
from products as p
join other AS b ON p.id=b.id
group by p.name
You should not need to join to get your result. This should work:
SELECT name, sum(deleted), count(1)
FROM products
GROUP BY name
SELECT name,
SUM(CASE WHEN deleted = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) Deletion,
COUNT(*) `COunt`
FROM products
GROUP BY name
OR
SELECT name,
SUM(deleted) Deletion,
COUNT(*) `COunt`
FROM products
GROUP BY name;

Select row in which the sum of the times the same value came up is less than X

this one been puzzling me for a couple of searching hours.
So I have a campaign table and a vendor Table. The vendor might have several campaigns.
I want to select all campaigns if the vendor has enough credits.
Problem is I don't know how many campaigns are going to be selected from the same vendor which means that the vendor might still have credits for two campaigns but not for the rest of them.
Example
tblvendors
+---------+------------+---------------+
|vendorId | vendorName | vendorCredits |
+---------+------------+---------------+
| 1 | a | 5 |
| 2 | b | 100 |
+---------+------------+---------------+
tblproducts
+-----------+---------------+------------+
| productId | productName | vendorId |
+-----------+---------------+------------+
| 1 | c | 1 |
| 2 | e | 2 |
| 3 | f | 1 |
| 4 | g | 1 |
| 5 | h | 1 |
+-----------+---------------+------------+
tblcampaigns
+------------+---------------+------------+
| campaignId | productId | vendorId |
+------------+---------------+------------+
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | 5 | 1 |
+------------+---------------+------------+
Now considering that everytime a row is selected the vendor looses 2 credits since vendor 'a' only has 5 credits left only campaigns 1 2 and 3 should be returned.
My current Query is this:
SET #maxCampaignId = (SELECT MAX(campaignId) FROM tblCampaigns);
SELECT
#maxCampaignId,
t0.campaignId,
t0.productId,
productName,
productDescription,
productImage,
(CASE WHEN campaignId > (SELECT configValue FROM tblconfiguration WHERE configKey = 'lastHomeCampaignId')
THEN campaignId ELSE campaignId + #maxCampaignId END) AS orderField
FROM tblcampaigns AS t0
INNER JOIN tblproducts AS t1 ON t0.productId = t1.productId
INNER JOIN tblvendors AS t2 ON t1.vendorId = t2.vendorId
WHERE
campaignType = 'homeFeature' AND
t0.isActive = 1 AND
t2.vendorCredits > (SELECT configValue FROM tblconfiguration WHERE configKey = 'campaignHomeFeatureCost' LIMIT 1)
ORDER BY orderField ASC
LIMIT 4
The problem as you can see is int the line that compares the vendorCredits. Obviously as is the query selects more campaigns than the vendor can afford.
I wanted to avoid doing this in PHP as I think it should be possible to do this straight out of the database.
Check this post, it may help - group by and having clauses. I'll try to do some test later
Using COUNT(*) in the WHERE clause
UPDATE:
select t2.vendorId, vendorCredits from tblcampaigns AS t0 JOIN tblproducts AS t1 ON t0.productId = t1.productId JOIN tblvendors AS t2 ON t1.vendorId = t2.vendorId group by t2.vendorId having t2.vendorCredits = count(t2.vendorId)
If I correctly understood the question: This query will select all vendors having more campains than credits.
Ok found it.
Thanks to this post: How do I limit the number of rows per field value in SQL?
What I did was Selecting the rows I wanted in the order I wanted as a subquery and its respective row number so that I could reorder it back in the end.
Then I made a second subquery ordered by the vendorId so that I could count the number of times it turned up and returning the row_count to the main query.
Finally in the main query I reordered it back to the row number in the deepest subquery but now I have the value I wanted to compare which is the value of credits per row * the current row number for a particular vendor.
Anyways maybe the code is cleared and here it goes:
SET #creditsCost = (SELECT configValue FROM tblconfiguration WHERE configKey = 'campaignHomeFeatureCost' LIMIT 1);
SET #maxCampaignId = (SELECT MAX(campaignId) FROM tblCampaigns);
SET #curRow = 0;
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT *,
#num := if(#first_column = vendorId, #num:= #num + 1, 1) as row_num,
#first_column:=vendorId as c
FROM
(SELECT
#curRow := #curRow + 1 AS row_number,
#maxCampaignId,
t0.campaignId,
t0.productId,
t2.vendorId,
t2.vendorCredits,
productName,
productDescription,
productImage,
(CASE WHEN campaignId > (SELECT configValue FROM tblconfiguration WHERE configKey = 'lastHomeCampaignId')
THEN campaignId ELSE campaignId + #maxCampaignId END) AS orderField
FROM tblcampaigns AS t0
INNER JOIN tblproducts AS t1 ON t0.productId = t1.productId
INNER JOIN tblvendors AS t2 ON t1.vendorId = t2.vendorId
WHERE
campaignType = 'homeFeature' AND
t0.isActive = 1
ORDER BY orderField ASC) AS filteredCampaigns
ORDER BY vendorId
) AS creditAllowedCampaigns
WHERE
row_num * #creditsCost <= vendorCredits
ORDER BY row_number
Anyhow I still appreciate Who took the time to answer and try to help, and will be listening to future comments since I think this is not the best way performance wise.
